Form Fours (at the moment)

Written by Nicholas Chan on January 31, 2008 – 12:13 am -

Many of my friends are already complaining about the life of Form 4 sucks. But is it really that sucks? In my own opinion, it sucks a little bit but still can go through it. Form 4 is just more subject to study, more to write, more to do, more to learn. Everything is more more more, no more objectives question for my exams, everything must be keep in my personal hard disk drive in my brain.

Before Form 4, Science was only 1 paper and now it has divided into 3, Chemistry, Biology and Physics. I am cool with Physics because it’s just the matter of calculation and formula, while Biology and Chemistry need to test my memorizing skill which I dislike memorizing facts. I can’t do anything, I have to memorize all those stuff. Besides that, subject that has facts can easily score A in exam as long as you imprint everything into your head. It’s just the matter of time. Need more time to do the study and memorize the facts.

Maths is nice at the moment. I love challenging maths question though I may take some times.

I am now taking an extra subject, which mean, learn more, do more, more A’s? Haha. At the moment, I have Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Additional Mathematics, Modern Mathematics, Malay, Chinese, Moral Education (suckers), English, English for Science and Technology (useless), History. 11 subject in total and now add 1 more into it and that is ICT (Information, Communication and Technology).

Taking this subject is mainly because I want to learn more about computing which I has a strong interest on. According to the teacher, the paper is easy. I hope it is, but whatever it is, I hope by taking this subject will gain my computing knowledge. I just don’t want to learn useless stuff like what is a Windows, what is computer and blabla basic computer shit. I still don’t know what I’m going to learn about, hope there will be coding/programing. =)

Trying not to stress myself. My study life is very simple. I don’t really work a lot on my homework. I copy more than I do myself. XD, except for Additional Mathematics and Physics. Hehe. I’m a lazy person but when comes exam, I’m gonna do last minute works on my study. By the way, I believe over 50% students do last minute study too. Correct me if I’m wrong.

Less than 30 days till first term exam. Getting ready for it? NO! Forget about exam first, let’s think about what to do during Chinese New Year. Wee~

    Glad that you entered Form 4 Science Stream. Form 4 is a big leap in your secondary school life. The learning curve starts, and steepens. You just need to get used to it.

    I took 12 subjects (the extra subjects being Chinese and Literature in English). With the exception of Chinese (A2), I scored A1 in other subjects. I’m the kind of person who has great understanding in things I learn, and days before exam I can afford to relax =)

    My strong side was on Physics (you need to know what you’re doing, not simply memorising and writing down answers on your exam paper!), while a lot of my friends complained it was hard!! I do keep up the standard in Chemistry and Biology as well, as that counts towards overall performance.

    At the same time, you need to do extensive reading to write good essays for your languages papers. Mind you, the expectations are high. During exams, I choose either factual or argumentative questions - I NEVER picked up a narrative or descriptive essay to write.

    Overall, I did the best =)

    OMG that’s a lot of subjects for Form 4 students to handle! When I was at your age I was only grappling with 6 or 7 subjects, and I don’t really see the significance of the callous inclusion of so many unnecessary subjects. Yea the ministry can argue that the whole wide spectrum of subjects are to enrich your knowledge, but I don’t quite get their point of cramming so many subjects altogether. That’s pure craziness.

    But it’s also at Form 4 when science gets more interesting… you’ll have 3 subjects instead of one, and they’ll allow you to discover which one you prefer the most :) and decide on your future endeavours. Good luck, anyway!

    I guess ICT is all about Windows, Hardware, Software and stuff like that. You won’t be able to learn programming at this early stage I think unless you learn them yourself ;D

    If you’re really serious about taking ICT in Chung Ling, you’d better be prepared to do most of the studying on your own.

    Last year the teacher barely taught us anything during the after school sessions saying that since we are all from the Science classes we should be able to handle the studying part by ourselves.

    Last year, he even asked us to help him type the notes for his classes. He would just leave us with the CDs to transcribe into MS Word.

    The only things he did that actually helped were to settle the SPM course work and giving us a summarised list of notes during the last lesson of the year.

    See you there…
